I have found the GUI is faster for me than a CLI, thats just me... funny that 
i grew up with a Mac and work on KDE :)

i will always be faster moving arround the KDE editor Kate than with Vi, only 
because i cannot remember 1000+ esoteric key commands just to copy text and 
then replace instances of it in my current file and header file with some 
other text.  I mean i might be able to write it down and maby after 10 years 
remember it, but hey, in Kate its roughly 3 mouse clicks... difference being, 
i dont have to blow my afternoon figureing out docs...  its there.

im not a sysadmin sshing into a box across the county, and im not in single 
user mode trying to recover a bootsector... im just this guy who needs to use 
his computer.

just my 2 very gui cents :)
